This course covers the fundamental use of the Client Object Model (CSOM) and the REST API, discusses how they have evolved in SharePoint 2013, and highlights many of the their new features. In the last several years Web development has seen a noticeable shift from server-side to client-side development. It’s taken a while but we’re starting to see this shift in the SharePoint development space as well. To support developers who want to do more on the client-side and to make it possible to build interesting applications using the SharePoint 2013 App Model, Microsoft has made significant enhancements to both the Client Object Model (CSOM) and the REST API. This course covers the fundamental use of these APIs, discusses how they have evolved in SharePoint 2013, and highlights many of the their new features.

Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen, your guide and WordPress guru, as he walks through the tools and major features (such as routes and endpoints) of the WP API, as well as a short project that shows how this new API will be used in real-world workflows.
